Little Washbourne Burials Tip

After we explored the church at Little Washbourne, I wandered around in the rain looking for burial stones, ie cemetery, that seemed to always be right close to the church. I found none. A few minutes later in talking with the owner of the Manor House there, I learned that there were no burials there because the water table was only down 4 feet.

So our ancestor, Peter LeChevalier, who died in Dec. 1809 was not buried in Little Washbourne where he had been renting a farm for the previous six months.
